Flying Monkeys

Poem a day continues its effort

Not to be bummed out by the

Irresponsible jerks in Washington

From both sides of the aisle,

Though in fairness, special mention

Needs to be made for the tea party whacks.

It should be said, however, poem a day

Reserves the majority of its contempt

For the moneyed interest

Pulling the strings of these wankers.

(If a word works, it works.)

They stand to make much profit in a collapsing economy,

Buying up everything at slashed prices.

The myth of our classless society is exposed people,

The emperors have all the clothes they need,

We're the ones getting stripped down to the bone.

The monkeys of Oz shutting down the government,

Bickering back a forth about who’s to blame,

Is a big curtain that needs to be pulled back.

The wicked witches are running the show,

And all the flying monkeys just do what they’re told.

Everybody’s gone serfing,

Serfing USA.
